"The University of Evansville Orchestra and String Ensemble offer students of all majors the opportunity to perform in both orchestral and chamber settings. With our string faculty and the resident Eykamp String Quartet, students collaborate, receive coaching, and perform with professional musicians from the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra."

— Dr. Chun-Ming Chen, Director of Orchestral Activities
